Over the weekend, I could not open Driver Heaven or omega corner websites. I am at a different system now and am able to view this site. I just got DSL on the computer yet connection times out. Is there anything wrong with browser settings, I think it is IE 5.5.

did you confirm it was a problem with the site to your line and not a browser issue?

first course of action would be to clear your IE cache and to flush DNS.

Im pretty sure its something with my browser, but I only get to use this computer once a week to see if problem is fixed. Ill try and clear cache and DNS, but not quite sure how to do either

I am now on my backup Dialup line and site loads, weird. I traced the lines and they go seperate routes, so I think it has something to do with the DSL routing. Arg.
